Passage A
Banff National Park, Canada
Banff is Canada’s oldest national park, just like Yellowstone in the USA. It lies in the Canadian Rockies, in the southwest of Alberta Province. The park covers about 6,641 square kilometres, with high mountains, clear lakes and thick evergreen forests. Its highest mountain reaches 3,954 metres above sea level.
Banff is home to lots of endangered wildlife. Visitors may meet elk, black bears, wolves and small wild rabbits when walking in forests. More than four million travellers come here every year for outdoor fun.
What to see & do
● Visit Lake Louise, a famous blue glacial lake surrounded by snowy mountains. Taking photos by the lake is the top choice for tourists.
● In summer: go hiking in forests, ride horses or try boating on quiet lakes.
● In winter: the park turns into a great ski field. Travellers can ski down mountain slopes or drive snowmobile on frozen ground.
● Explore natural hot springs deep in the mountains, which come from underground volcanic heat.

Passage B
The meaning of building national parks
All over the world, governments build national parks to protect natural heritage, including special landforms and endangered wild animals, just like China’s Giant Panda National Park and Canada’s Banff National Park.
National parks work as safe homes for wildlife. Many wild animals lose their living places because of human cities and farmlands. Inside park lines, people cannot cut trees freely or build factories, so animals can live and have babies safely.
Besides wildlife protection, national parks also help local villages make money. Millions of tourists visit parks every year. They spend money on hotels, local food and outdoor activities. More local people can get jobs as park guides, café workers or ski coaches.
But park managers also face troubles. Too many visitors may bring rubbish into forests and pollute lakes. Some travellers get too close to wild animals and put both themselves and animals in danger. So every national park makes strict visiting rules to control visitor numbers and behaviours.
() 1. The underlined phrase “natural heritage” in Line 1 means ______.
A. 人工建筑 B. 自然遗产 C. 城市设施 D. 农田作物
( ) 2. Why do governments set up national parks first?
A. To build big hotels for tourists B. To protect nature and wild animals
C. To open more ski fields D. To plant lots of grape vines
( ) 3. What is the good influence (影响) of park tourism for local people?
A. It helps them get more jobs B. It lets them cut down forest trees
C. It makes them build factories D. It lets them catch wild animals
( ) 4. Which is one problem caused by too many visitors?
A. Animals get more food B. Lakes become clean
C. Rubbish pollutes the park D. Local people lose jobs
( ) 5. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. How to travel in famous national parks around the world
B. The purposes, advantages and problems of national parks
C. The introduction of Banff and Giant Panda National Park
D. Different outdoor sports in national parks
